"Inside this fantasy
It seems so real to me
Synthetic ecstasy, when her legs are open
True Life behind a wall
Where men and angels fall
A fading memory, when my mind is frozen..."

-- Celldweller "Frozen"

I have some er...Saw-Nee-Chew "art" to post, but I'm eagerly awaiting the fifth anniversary of "Christory" to submit it (what is this fascination?) So, I'll submit this old piece instead.

Anyway, I this was also drawn during that month I had no home internet access. I wasn't sure if I wanted to post this picture or not, partly due to it being inspired by one of Orpheelin's lovely pieces, and er...another reason or two which I won't mention here.

Taiki and Matthias are er...being cute maybe? There really isn't much to say about this image. I did totally gank the background from Reach Out and Take It, made it blue, and threw on some weird sparkly rune textures. This is also the first time I show off Taiki's wedding band. Matthias has a wedding band too, but it just can't be seen since Matthias hand is hiding somewhere under Taiki's hair. ^.^;

I usually don't like newer music (like most "old" folks) but I do like this song. : D

Yeah, you know you're an old fart when you start complaining about how eveything on the radio sucks these days.

Aaaaaah, this is so lovely! They look great together, I love the closeness between them! Matthias's hand look a wee bit on the large side to me, but then again I have tiny fingers, so I'm not sure if I'm the best judge...

Goddammit, now I need to know the reasons you won't mention!

HotaruThodt In reply to elila [2012-10-10 18:38:17 +0000 UTC]

I think Matthias' hands might be a little big, but then again he has big hands (and Taiki's probably 5 foot tall at best; s/he's tiny. ). I think they're cute together, despite being a bit of a taboo pairing. Matthias treats hir far best then his nephew treated hir.

Well, the reasons I won't mention are mentioned on the other pic of these two I have in my gallery. I might be being paranoid, but if you wasn't to know, note me?

Are we thinking the same "SawNeeChew"? Because I recently discovered this...ah..."man"...? (late bloomer, I know), and...just....what? XD

Lovely picture, I really like the soft, gentle features and the lovely eyes!

HotaruThodt In reply to deaddoll00 [2012-10-04 15:14:38 +0000 UTC]

Well don't feel bad about being a late bloomer. I didn't hear about the "man" until mid-late 2008 but didn't jump the bandwagon until 2009 during the Liquid Saga.
I really didn't want this piece to pop up in search results for Sonichu, but I do have a Sonichu fanart on the wya and I wanted to mention it.

Thank you so much. I had so much trouble hading Taiki's face. >_>;

llolz. Oddly enough I first heard a remix of this song while watching people troll a girl and I watched one of her videos...of course the song didn't match her video/story at all. She also mention she wasn't supposed to know what sex was, and all I can do is think "Er...then why are you listening to this song and using it in your animation?" O_O;

GhostShow In reply to HotaruThodt [2012-10-04 00:56:53 +0000 UTC]

Ah, I got the song from a friend a long while ago.. a few years ago. Fell in love with it; And... what? Really? Using a song like that and.. apparently she also isn't supposed to know what sex is when the song is dripping with it? I almost want to see this animation and what it's all about.

What other kind of songs do you like if I may inquire?

HotaruThodt In reply to GhostShow [2012-10-04 01:06:44 +0000 UTC]

lolz. It was a preview of her er...anime using a remix of the song. I'm not sure if the video is on her channel anymore, at least not public. Since she got on ED she hid a lot of her videos. ^.^;

Dude, I'll listen to most anything. I like Progressive and Symphonic metal the most though.

GhostShow In reply to HotaruThodt [2012-10-04 01:20:34 +0000 UTC]

Oh.. I see, I wonder who it is exactly. As an goer of ED, there are so many people to look through. I feel sorry for some but for others like Chris-chan; noooope. Not really.

I like Symphonic metal as well, Industrial, ambiance, and some dark wave. Have anything you'd like to recommend.

HotaruThodt In reply to GhostShow [2012-10-04 01:29:11 +0000 UTC]

I felt kind of bad for Chris-Chan about Bluespike, but Bluespike was a fucking psycho and wouldn't even shut up when Clyde Cash told him too. Aside from that, I follow Chris awaiting some lulz. ^.^;

Well, I always recommend Tarot...and Symphony X. I've been listening to Rush again lately, but that's mostly while dolling since I'm developing a group of tabletop RPing Monster High characters and Rush is perfect chill music for that.

GhostShow In reply to HotaruThodt [2012-10-04 01:51:30 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, the whole incident with Clyde was a hot mess... And Liquid Chris. Yep, he seems to keep-on-trucking.

Ah- I've listened to a few songs by Tarot, liked them and have been getting into them a bit more. Haven't really listened to much from Symphony X-- been meaning to look a little more into them. Rush sounds very familiar... Should give them a look, too. I'm fond of Dead can Dance, Portishead, Susumu Hirasawa, and Two steps from hell. Tabletop Rping Monster High chars? Sounds kinda fun. XD

HotaruThodt In reply to GhostShow [2012-10-04 16:17:01 +0000 UTC]

Actually Liquid Chris is probably my favourite troll. He managed to take all of Chris's horrendous habits and turn them into something cute. Plus Liquid was my first Saga. I'm also a fan of Surfshack Tito and Grandmaster Thorg.

Well, Rush is a really old band that was around when my parents were growing up. Oh! If you like Dark Wave, check out Blutengel.

He was pretty fun. I don't remember too much more of CWC, it's been forever since I last read up on good ol' Chris. There's just so much shit on him too.. holy fuck.

I think I remember my dad making me sit and listen to a song by them. It's been a long while, though. Oh, and thank you for sharing that with me; I'll be sure to give them a look!

HotaruThodt In reply to GhostShow [2012-10-09 12:56:37 +0000 UTC]

Dude, someone managed CWC's friend Anna's Facebook and a shitload of "New" content has been posted over on the Cwcck Forums. Mostly Chris snapped photos of McD and BK employees who didn't treat him speshul but it's still worthwhile. I feel awful for Megan though. He fucking doxed her. Needless to say, because of his Megan doxxing I don't feel bad for him anymore.

lolz. I wonder if you had to listen to "Tom Sawyer" I swear because of Family Guy I can no longer listen to that song without thinking of Chester Cheetah snorting Cheeto dust. ^.^;

They look nice together, I like the passionate look in their eyes. At first I thought Taiki was a girl but then I remembered that only his/her lover knows his/her true gender

Thank you. Taiki's starting to remind me of a little black and white pixie version of Mila Kunis anyway, so it kind of works. Yeah, Matthias it eh only one that knows, it's bad when your own adopted father doesn't even know what you are.

IvoryFool [2012-10-03 14:01:26 +0000 UTC]

did Taiki allways have pixie ears? did I only just notice them now? hhmmmm thats odd of me.

Taiki's looking super girly, thankfully the width of the shoulder throws that off ... all though they might just be a wide shoulderd lady ^.^;;
Matthius looks meellooooow... or hungry hhmm hard to say... and wait did he allways have glowly blue eye's? am I going crazy o.o;

but yes nicely centerd image, good feeling in the flouty hair...lotsa hair fweee

HotaruThodt In reply to IvoryFool [2012-10-03 14:08:18 +0000 UTC]

Yeah s/he's had the pixie ears since I introduced hir in RPs. Matthias' big floofy head was just covering them up last time.

I had so much trouble with hir face in this one. S/he kept looking too manly, and I'd much rather have hir too manly then too girly. For all we know, s/he's either a flat chest, broad shoulder girly or a girly-hipped boy. Nah, his eyes didn't glow in the other piece. I just thought glowy would work for the effect of the piece.

I like painting hair.

IvoryFool In reply to HotaruThodt [2012-10-03 14:29:41 +0000 UTC]

ah I ams teh derp

very girly here...hmm I think your trouble is you tilt towards girly in your mascaline characters, even Matthius here could be described as girly looking, with his delicate lips, sculpted brows, wee nosey and complete lack of facial hair or rough skin.
so perhaps going too manly would be just the right amount ^.^;; I don't know.

HAIRS HAIRS EVERYWHERES!
